As with the earlier Two Tone Sunburst Fender Stratocasters, sunburst finishes are easily the best-recognised of Fender's guitar finishes (in addition, perhaps, to the Butterscotch Blonde Telecaster), and was one of only a handful of Fender's in-house paint options during the 1950s and 1960s, whilst most other colours came directly from the automotive industry.
Having replaced Two Tone Sunburst during 1958, Three Tone Sunburst had the additional third 'reddish' tone between the dark outer edges and yellow central area of the body and is one of the only colour options which Fender have offered consistently throughout the entire lifetime of the Stratocaster model line.
